Yellow Rumped Warbler (Myrtle Warbler)

Point Pelee, May 8, 2011

I don't have a lot of photographed "first" birds left. Not only is the first Yellow Rumped Warbler I have ever seen, it is the very first warbler I have ever seen! I had heard of them but didn't understand the fascination in them until looked through a field guide recently...then I ﻿saw the incredible variety and was excited to go to Point Pelee and try my luck. I saw this guy flying out of the corner of my eye when I was taking pictures of the Ruby Crowned Kinglet and was thrilled to discover that I got at least a somewhat decent photo of him, given the circumstances. This makes bird specie number 27!

About Me

I am a recently "retired" homeschooling mom of two children. My son is now in College and we made the decision this year to send my daughter to high school for grade 10. I enjoy reading, birdwatching, and learning about photography. This blog is a more like a diary of my birding experiences and some of my favourite bird photos. Take a look around...comment if you like something :)
Please leave me a comment and do correct me if I've misidentified a bird.
